Almost everybody will associate Liverpool with the Beatles, indeed many tourists visit solely for this reason. There is no escaping that Liverpool is the Fab Four’s hometown and from where they gained worldwide fame; relics fill the city inspiring fond memories of the musicians’ time here. Hard Day’s Night Hotel embraces this theme and is a tribute to the band, an establishment entirely dedicated to their music, their successes and the band members themselves.

HDN Hotel is centrally located and therefore very convenient for those spending time in the city for business or pleasure. This four star hotel has a corporate feel in the rooms and the public spaces with a muted colour scheme and simple furnishings. Some of the décor feels dated but the Beatles quotes and photos add colour and spirit. It is very comfortable catering for guests young and old, with a range of room options.

We were in a cosy double room with all the essentials needed for a weekend break – a smart writing desk and flatscreen TV, and a small bathroom with a particularly powerful shower. Above the sumptuous bed hung a psychedelic picture of John Lennon, looking down on us with an authoritive but friendly expression. After an evening trying the top cocktail bars in Liverpool, we slept very well in our Beatles inspired room.

HDN Hotel has plenty of choice for those seeking a bite to eat or an evening cocktail. The Live Lounge is a casual bar area in which to meet friends whereas Blakes restaurant (named after Peter Blake designer of Beatles album cover) offers a pleasant setting for a romantic meal. Alternatively you can exclusively hire the John Lennon or Paul McCartney suite for a special event.

Breakfast is served downstairs, a simple offering of cereals, toast or a full English for those in need of a hearty meal. I gulped down some orange juice and toast before dashing off to explore the rest of the city.
